We study optimal transport networks in spatial equilibrium. We develop a framework consisting of a neoclassical trade model with labor mobility in which locations are arranged on a graph. Goods must be shipped through linked locations, and transport costs depend on congestion and on the...

A data vector is a composition if it contains positive values and if the total of its components is irrelevant to the analysis at hand. Mathematically, it can be modeled by a vector in the simplex of R^n. In a regression framework, one or several compositions may appear as dependent variables as...

We develop an equilibrium theory of attention and politics. In a spatialmodel of electoral competition where candidates have varying policy prefer-ences, we examine what kinds of political behaviors capture voter’s limitedattention and how this concern in turn affects political outcomes....

This paper empirically investigates how political connections affect market structure and quantifies the welfare cost of political influence. We focus on a specific industry, grocery retail in Italy, where the largest firm is a network of consumer cooperatives that has historical links to political...

There is a discrepancy between CAPM-implied and realized returns. Using the CAPM in capital budgeting { as recommended in finance textbooks { should thus have valuation effects. For instance, low beta projects should be valued more by CAPM-using managers than by the market. This paper empirically...

Studies of populations exposed to the World Trade Center disaster have compellingly demonstrate substantial cancer, psychological and respiratory consequences. That said a substantial focus of this research has been on dust and stress as contributors, particularly the latter. Components of WTC dust...

In developing countries, the state often has limited capacity to effectively target transfers. We examine the effects of enhanced authentication technology on the performance of India's largest targeted transfer scheme, the Public Distribution System. We conduct an experiment at scale with the...

In this presentation, we are going to consider the Principal-Agent problem in a linear partially observed system. The non-observable part of the system is assumed not observable by the Principal or the Agent. Firstly, we shall demonstrate that the solvability of the Agent’s optimization problem can...
